[edit] The Books
[edit] Magyk
The first book is titled Magyk. The main plot revolves around a pauper-like family named Heap. There are seven children in the Heap family. Silas and Sarah Heap are the parents. Simon is the eldest son, with an ambition to be the ExtraOrdinary wizard. The other Heaps (In order from eldest to youngest) are Sam, Jo-Jo, twins Erik and Edd, and Jenna whom Silas Heap found in the snow on the day Septimus was born and supposedly died. The story centers around Jenna, a girl who is really a princess, but is passed off as the Heap's youngest daughter. On her tenth birthaday, it is revealed she is actually the princess and she is being tracked down by an evil Hunter. The evil Hunter is working for a Necromancer named DomDaniel, who is an ex-ExtraOrdinary Wizard. As the plot thickens, they encounter an army boy, Boy 412, who refuses to talk. But soon Boy 412 becomes a hero and realizes his destiny!
[edit] Flyte
In the second book, Flyte, Simon is working for DomDaniel (who is in Skeleton form). He kidnaps Jenna and brings her to his observatory. But she escapes back to the port. Septimus and Nicko are the only ones to go looking for her. They are told by the Witch Mother where Jenna is. When they reach the port they find Jenna. The plot swirls on from there, finishing with Simon accepting Septimus as his brother.
